   Tom, you've several times mentioned "fully formatted text" without 
explaining exactly what you *mean* when you say "fully formatted text". Perhaps it 
might help if you could clue us into the specific aspects of Rev text-handling 
that just aren't working for you...
   Type styles: Which styles does "fully formatted text" include? Bold, 
italic, and underline go without saying, of course. Does "fully formatted text" 
also include dotted underlines, doubled underlines, subscript, superscript, small 
caps, superior and inferior? Does it include vertical and/or horizontal 
"stretching"? Does it include outline, inline, and "contour" styles?
    Positional adjustments: Does "fully formatted text" include arbitrary 
baseline adjustments, kerning and tracking?
   And so on, and so forth.
   I'm just tryna find out the dimensions of the *real* problem here. Given 
that Rev is perfectly happy to import (subsets of) both RTF and HTML, exactly 
what do you need that can't be handled by Rev's existing RTF and HTML 
capabilities?
